Cải lương star Kim Tử Long is preparing to bring his fifth and largest live show Thánh Đường Sân Khấu (Sanctum of Cải Lương) to Trưng Vương Theatre in Đà Nẵng later this month.

The show will include 20 extracts from popular plays, such as Gió Lạnh Biên Thùy (Wind Blows through the Border), Đoạn Tình Buồn (Sad Love) and Câu Thơ Yên Ngựa (Poetry and Saddle).

Long’s new historical play Lưu Kim Đính (Heroine Lưu Kim Đính) will be performed during the show.

The performance will attract more than 30 other performers, including talented actors Trường Sơn, Phượng Hằng, Phương Hồng Thủy and Vietnamese-American Ngọc Huyền. His wife, actress Trinh Trinh, will also be featured.

Long, 54, said: “I expect my shows will be on schedule and will bring cải lương closer to audiences in Đà Nẵng.”

Long’s live show Thánh Đường Sân Khấu in October in Hà Nội and HCM City received a warm welcome from both critics and audiences. – VNS
